Guttering and downpipes are allright, with no leaking at all. Damp gets from the ground., and Im not surprised as all these houses lie straight on the ground, with no foundations. And im pretty sure about that, because of high level of damp inside of internal walls.

House with solid walls, built in 1929. Whenever it rains my walls get wet approx. 1m high. To check it, I bought a damp meter which clearly shows me that I have penetrating damp, rising damp, whatever... Outside of the house, some of bricks are damaged, some of them are covered...

--- Solid one (house built in 1929) ---Yes, I have --- No, only externally. Dryzone instruction doesnt say anything about internal work --- I did drilling approx. 180mm in the mortar on second bricks level. --- Horizontal joits?, sorry I dont know --- sorry again, I dont know...

Hi Lucas, I think you should probably have pointed the holes using sand and cement right after you put the Dryzone in to 'trap' it in the drilled hole. Did the Dryzone not run out of the holes after you gunned it in? Has your damp problem now gone? You might want to gun a bit more in just to...

Ok! Thanks for help! What about holes in bricks? Caused by same thing(drilling due to rising damp) Regards

Point them using mortar you mean? I wanted to do it, but somebody told me that I should ask for plastic corks... Does anything like this exist?

Hi there. I have a problem with rising damp, therefore I use dryzone to sort this problem out. I had to drill holes in mortar, and now, I just dont know what to do with them? Shall I leave it like it is or shall I cover holes somehow? Thanks for help guys! Lucas

the cover isnt 147 thats the worked size the coverage is around 6mm less as the 147 includes the tounge :wink: you can get 13mm txg but thats cladding and normaly has a v groove along the joining edge i would definatly replace with 22mm boards or 18mm sheets as you will have no...

Hello Big All. Distance between joints- 34cm All flooring upstairs is 13mm. Its even problem to get these 13mms! I found only 18 & 21mm. Also cover is different too, mine 147mm, at shop 112mm. Thanks for good advice, Im gonna get thicker ones then!

Hi there. I have to exchange some floorboards, but Im not sure shall I buy the same tickness of bedroom floorboards (13mm), or exchange all of them for thicker ones? 13mm floorboard in my opinion is too thin... Am I right? The house was built in 1930. Regards Lucas

Heh, Thanks. Im not 13, just no one is perfect. Im not a plumber and Im just blank... Otherwise I wouldnt ask, but its good to ask rather than mess smthg up, am I right? :) Sorry about my "silly" quests. But no one from my neighbourhood knows about that :/ are they 13yo too? ;)

I have a combi boiler, RAVENHEAT RSF 82E There is a filling loop

Thanks. Its true, that I dont know much about plumbing. Thing is, somebodys coming Tomorrow to do the job, but he doesnt know how to flush water and fill it in back after. Any idea where the valve might it be? I dont think that its a good idea to flush each radiator separately. Regards

Hi there Im going to cut boiler pipes to make an additional connection with hot and cold water. Could you give me advice how to empty all radiators. Is there any switch or something to do it, then I need to know how to fill in water back. I have a combi boiler if it helps you...
